I've found a solution - an odd one: when I filled out the "Import Directory" with the word "anything" (not a real folder, of course) the error was:

09070003 Time of failure: Fri Oct 07 18:11:42 GMT-03:00 2011 Host where failure occurred: v121d006 (10.0.190.219) Root exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Source '/opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/anything' doesn't exist. at …

Does the bulk-import expected the folder to be placed at /tomcat/bin/? I moved the source folder from /u01/alfresco/bulkimport/ to /opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/ and the bulk-import ran successfully!

So, must we put the source folders at /tomcat/bin/? I can't belive it. I'm sure that is possible to import directly from any regular folder and I'd like to know how do it. Any configuration file must be updated?

Thanks for any help!

Just a head's up for anyone else who finds this post - the Bulk Import Tool Luiz is referring to is a community-developed extension to Alfresco [1] that has its own dedicated mailing list [2]. It's probably better to ask questions related to the tool there, as it's dedicated to the tool (unlike these forums, which cover all of Alfresco).

Cheers,
Peter

Those are the links to the original "unsupported" bulk import tool, not the "unsupported" fork that is <strong>included</strong> with the community edition. The original version works. The version included with 4.Xc has this bug.

It's probably better to fix the bug in the release than pass the buck upstream where the bug doesn't exist any longer 😉
